PLAY Lyrics by SWATS

Reclamation

2019

Hello

Who am I? A digital kind of guy. Nappy, dread-headed rhymin' just happy to be alive. Doing fine

This year I'm reppin' for you and I. Disappear, switch gears, and I'm taking you for a ride, yeah!

Back in the day it was checks beside a name: "checks for the lame," today it's checks to shoulder fame, yeah!

May I remind you to never give up, the fighter living dormant inside you tried to focus upon the minor ish

Gotta pay to play the game:
Moving From Philly to NC was really to raise me, you visit but never move back
Break Beats, all the Sucka Emcees
Re-living the 80s tradition now that's a throw back
Mom please, considered a token, just trying to go in I'm winning you gotta know that!
All the way from beginning to last inning you're getting this SWATS in!
All i know's that I paid to play the game!

Money, I am being told
Money, I am being sold
Money, I am being told
Money, I am being sold

Learn a lesson, learn a lesson. Pay attention! This is a SWATS intervention. Once a consumer now I can assume you're
Bobbing your head to my tribute to the music
I used to pay, now I play to break the game!

This is not a discussion, this is not a debate
Take a case of mistaken identity upon my namesake
I found an issue with competition that can't wait
Bring a resolution at any moment the GameBreax

The same's taken you 8 takes
Your brain quakes on it
There's Lyricism indecision, it ain't funny
It take money to make money
The same change you waste on it
Could be the change that you ain't started

Gotta pay to play the game:
Moving From Philly to NC was really to race me, you visit but never move back
Break Beats, all the Sucka Emcees
Re-living the 80s tradition now that's a throw back
Mom please, considered a token, just trying to go in I'm winning you gotta know that!
All the way from beginning to last inning you're getting this SWATS in!
All i know's that I paid to play the game!

Money, I am being told
Money, I am being sold
Money, I am being told
Money, I am being sold

Learn a lesson, learn a lesson. Pay attention! This is a SWATS intervention. Once a consumer now I can assume you're
Bobbing your head to my tribute to the music
I used to pay, now I play to break the game!
